Kristina Gill: Courgettes
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about tomatoes, one of my favorite summer foods. Courgettes (zucchine in Italian) are tied at the top of my list with tomatoes. I like them so much that I eat them year round. I know eating out of season is so 20th century, but I just can’t get over how much I love them, even when they aren’t at the top of their game. My favorite way to have them is lightly sauteed with garlic and onion, and in summer I add some tomatoes – sometimes sauteed together and sometimes fresh. Sometimes I eat them with pasta, sometimes I slice them paper thin and eat them alone. Today I put it all together and it was an early taste of summer.
